The NBA is known for having the roughest athletes in the world. I wouldn’t say that they necessarily have the toughest though. Mainly a bunch of do-rag wearing, corn-row sportin’, tattoo laced thugs that can jump out of the gym. It amazes me, with how much weed these guys are smoking, that they can still run up and down the court. I mean, it honestly seems like every time I flip the TV on and watch sportscenter (which is every night), some player from the NBA has either gotten a DUI, was involved in a shooting at some bar, or has been bending a girl over the back of a chair in Denver. Yes, Kobe, I am talking about you.
So who wouldn’t think that there would be a few good fights/brawls when you get a bunch of them together with million dollar contracts on the line? But not even that, these guys have more pride than Oprah when she found out about fen-phen. These guys do not want to be humiliated in front of thousands of screaming fans. And when they are, it can lead into some of the most entertaining scenes ever. Who knows, they might even go after a fan or two…
Take a look at the top 5 NBA fights of all time:

The “holy war” between Brigham Young University and University of Utah saw an impressive battle Saturday. BYU fans in Lavell Edwards Stadium cheered the cougars to a 14 point lead over the Utes– a lead they gave away in the fourth quarter. With a touchdown conquering the Ute’s field goal in overtime, BYU claimed the unofficial title for 2009: 26: 23.
Following the game, a triumphant Max Hall, quarterback for BYU, stated that he “hate[d]. . . everything about [the University of] Utah.” Saying that Ute fans are “classless,” Hall referenced an incident from last year’s rivalry game when Utah fans verbally assaulted, spit on, and dumped beer on his family.
According to Hall, the fans in question were escorted to their vehicle by the local police. Ending an embarrassing game for Hall and an unpleasant experience for his family, this experience embittered Hall.
Hall has since apologized to the university, fans, and team from Utah and to his own team and coaching staff.In an interview this morning, BYU head coach, Bronco Mendenhall, says he ‘absolutely’ respects Hall for the way he handled the situation, calling him a ‘great leader’ and a ‘great kid’ who ‘has [Mendenhall's] support.’
According to Mendenhall, “The apology [Max] issued (came) from him and no one else. . . . If anyone thinks they’ve influenced his apology, that’s a mistake; he woke up, did all of that on his own. . . . I haven’t talked to Max yet, nor has anyone else from our coaching staff. Max has done this completely on his own.”
NEW YORK (AP) — Albert Pujols was unanimously voted National League MVP on Tuesday, becoming the first player to repeat since Barry Bonds won four in a row from 2001-04. Pujols received all 32 first-place votes and 448 points in balloting announced by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.
It was the third MVP award for the St. Louis Cardinals star, who also won in 2005. He became the first unanimous MVP since Bonds in 2002.
Pujols led the majors in home runs (47), runs (124), slugging percentage (.658) and intentional walks (44), and topped the NL in on-base percentage (.443). He was second in the league in doubles (45) and third in batting average (.327) and RBIs (135).
He was especially dangerous with the bases loaded, going 10 for 17 with five grand slams, three doubles and 35 RBIs.
